Offshore betting is dead, right?

bounceback · Jul 7, 2015

So in 2005 I took a payout at good ol pinny to neteller for 20k in less than an hour.

Fast forward 10 years and the "A+" 5dimes book you have to stand on your head to get a nickle sent. Litterally the most they can send p2p right now is 500. Really?? Then if you request a check you gotta hope it cashes and hope your bank doesnt flag it.

But wait they can pay you in Amazon gift cards hahaha fuk outta here with that BS give me my cash like I sent!

Will it ever be like 2005 again?

In the US, offshore betting is dead and buried. Today's A+ equals yesteryear's D-.

Probably not but if the Nevada Apps take off like I think they eventually will, getting under 20k wont be too tough, especially if you spread it out over 10 books.

Bitcoin books.

Say what you want about the potential "demise" of bitcoin, but if bitcoins are transferred to dollars when you play, you only risk a collapse for the 30 minutes or so it takes you to buy bitcoins and transfer them into your book. Much higher limits and instant withdrawal with usually zero fees. Win/Win, right?

Just might be the way to go. You have to adjust with the times to survive.

Before that Olympic would give me $4000 a year in bonuses. Every 3 months 10,000 for a $1000 bonus.
Now even by scalping it's hard to win $4000 a year!

I only use bookmaker for parlays, that's it. I also use them for futures plays.

If I hit a $100,000 parlay, I know it's gonna take forever to get my money.......so yes, offshore is dead compared to the early 2,000's.

If they legalize sports betting on the east coast, I will be at the casino every weekend.

you are good with any sportsbook/poker skin affiliated with Digital Exchange. They have all the money among all the betting sites that cater to people in the usa, offer all the best freerolls including the 1 connected to this site that's been happening every other week.

You can even deposit with credit card and withdraw through bitcoin with Digital Exchange. Yes i agree 5dimes is not the way to go unless you win a freeroll on there or something, are able to build it up into the $250-$500 range but that's about it.

So Sir.... what books specifically are the Digital Exchange books?

Thanks in advance!

no problem with 5dimes for me. in the 700s quick as lightning. friendly as well. I never have problems with them. all these people that complain must be barging in and immediately telling the help to fuck off. treat them with respect and all is well. at least that has been my experience.

good luck

Not a Mickey Mouse book per sé. But owned by a Mickey Mouse character. Yes. A drunk loud obnoxious classless Mickey Mouse. The guy literally thinks he is God. I would say Pokerstars/Pinnacle owner is more God like but to each of his own.

Bitcoin for depositing/withdrawing is the way to go, I know a lot about the offshore industry, was a manager at a big book for years...the transaction costs of moving money is a pain for the most part, you save some money on labor, but the trade-off is piss poor CS/Sales agents...

Offshore betting is dead, right?
